Happy Birthday to Us

April 20th is an auspicious day - not only is it a Friday, and a week before Freedom Day, but it's also What's Up’s third anniversary. Three years ago we started out as a humble blog letting people know what amazing and quirky events were happening in Cape Town, introducing you to some interesting people, and sharing some of our favourite foodie, wine, tourism and other discoveries.

Building on this great foundation, we've expanded rapidly, adding What's Up Jozi, What's Up Durban, What's Up PE, What's Up South Africa, as well as partnering with STA World Traveller Liam
